Hey gang,
I was browsing the ol' eBay this afternoon, and I came across this Skyline auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=31864&item=2423754363). The seller is offering legalization services on the car for a mere $5,000, some $12,000 less than MotoRex charges for a 95 R33. Quite clearly, this seems too good to be true. I e-mailed the seller and asked for the name of the RI performing the legalization, but I've yet to receive a response. Has anybody seen auctions (scams?) from this person before? I have no intention of bidding on the car; I just thought it was something you guys might be interesting in investigating. I'll let you all know if the seller ever responds to my query : )

UPDATE:
The guy responded once and answered a question I had, but he didn't give me the name of the RI so I could check it against the list. So I emailed him back requesting the name. Has he replied? Of course not : ).
